Expertise Level

All the discussions about the UI and balancing the needs of new and experienced users got me thinking, One of our issues is that simple things have been made more complex.

I wonder whether there is a case for borrowing a concept from Adobe Photoshop Elements. In the middle of the top bar of the screen they have these tabs that you can flip between.

In Photoshop Elements:

Quick gives you access to about 6 most commonly used tools and suppresses the restGuided gives you lots of complete end-to-end workflows for specific tasksExpert gives you the entire set of menus and leaves you to it

I flip between them depending on my needs. I'd be happy to do something similar in SnagIt
